Maya is the carrier of the new virus and Alejandro is the new cure. None.

+ Maya's ability is infecting people some kind of virus and this one affects humans also.
+ this could explain why there was not only evolved humans affected by the virus in the future that Peter saw.

+ Victoria knows the danger of the virus without opening the vial; this could be explained if she could alter the virus through the vial.
+ There are hundreds of strains with different side effects, and all of then were created in few months; such manipulation occuring in the 70's is hard to believe.

The strain of the virus in Niki's body will evolve. None.

+ Niki has super strength, thus, by combining the Shanti virus with herself, a "super strength virus" could result.
• Niki may be dead.
